The Devil Makes Three - Uncle harveys plane

^CMe n' Oliver n' Virgil was^F at the drugstore killin' time, ^Gwhen my eyes fell on this magazin^Ce. ^Cand I got To reading this article 'bout sky-divin' an^Fd parachutin', ^Gsaid jumpin outta air-planes was a thing.^C

^CNow being raised down on the farm and always r^Feady for adventure, ^Gwell I knew that I could find a Wa^Cy. ^CDelmer Gill he's got a parachute and Uncle Ha^Frvey's got an air-plane, ^Gso we called the boys together, today's t^Che day,

^CWell I found out too late, what Uncle Har^Fvey called an air-plane ^Gwuttin' nothin but an engine and a w^Cing. ^Cand I felt my fear begin to rise as d^Felmer packed the parachute, ^G'cuz he tol' me I's doing the rig^Cht thing,

^CRon Mcloughlin shook my hand and Jd^F strapped me in the harness ^Gso Tildon brought a jug n' they passed it 'ro^Cund. ^CSo I took one look at that parachute and that w^Fhisky and that airplane ^Gand I turned that bottle up n' I drank it d^Cown.

^CWell I was Drunker'n Cooter Jones when they p^Foured me in that plane, ^Gthe engine coughed as I Headed for the cl^Couds. ^Cbut I's sober as a judge when Har^Fvey opened up the door ^Gand I've never known my heart to beat so l^Coud.

I screamed, :H^Carvey! I Can't Do this! You and I've known each other a very long time, you been my uncle all my life, to ask another human being to jump out of an airplane at this altitude and at this velocity is simply ridiculous man." at which point, he k^Ficked me out the door ^Gand I wrapped my hands around the landing ge^Car. ^Cand I was holdin' on real good 'til H^Farvey stepped upon my fingers ^Gand Virgil heard me scream from way down ther^Ce.

^Cwell I Thanked God And I thanked Buddha. ^FI thanked Jesus I thanked Judah, ^GI thanked Krishna and all the lesser Hindu god^Cs, ^Cmost of all i thanked my good friend Delmer Gi^Fll when my parachute finally opened ^Gand I thought, " Hell There Ain't No Use In Being Afraid!^C" ^CI came crashing through that hen house, I^F scattered chickens, I broke eggs ^Gand then I kissed that ground, I fainted dead away^C.

^CNow friends I been in a few battles n' I ^Fbeen shot at once r' twice ^Gand I damn near been runned over by a tra^Cin, ^Cbut I never do remember e^Fver being so afraid. ^Gas the day I jumped from Uncle Harvey's pla^Cne
